Sorry, but what is this about? Copying an array here is wrong and also doesn't seem to be related at all to the issue you are trying to solve.
Maybe the test needs to do a copy, I don't know, but certainly not here or like this.
Also, as mentioned on the issue, please make sure that the tests for this use the function that you fixed the signature for.

(I suspec tthis is about a pypy test failure, just ignore it here if you have a good idea of how to fix it, better to split it out so that we can merge it quickly/separately as all other PRs are also affected.)

I've made the changes to NpyIter_GetIterNext
return type from NpyIter_IterNextFunc*
to NpyIter_IterNextFunc
in both __init__.pxd
and __init__.cython-30.pxd
files.
Regarding testing the function signature, I've attempted to add test coverage by:
- Adding a test function to
numpy/_core/tests/test_cython.py
- Adding a corresponding Cython function to
numpy/_core/tests/examples/cython/checks.pyx
However, I've encountered difficulties with the build process for the Cython examples due to circular imports when working with the development version of NumPy.
That said, the fix itself is verified by successful compilation, since the original issue in #28446 was specifically a compilation error:
error: assignment to 'int (**)(NpyIter *)' from incompatible pointer type 'int (*)(NpyIter *)'
Would it be acceptable to consider the fix verified through:
- NumPy successfully compiling with
spin build
- The original reporter confirming the fix resolves their compilation error
Alternatively, I'd appreciate guidance on the appropriate way to add test coverage for this specific Cython declaration change that avoids the build complications I've encountered.

it was about the pypy test failure, ive reverted the changes

did you just run with spin test -t numpy/_core/tests/test_cython.py
? Either way, it should work in CI.

The tests only run if you have Cython >=3.0.6, just updating cython should do the trick to run the tests locally.
EDIT: There is also a:
if IS_EDITABLE:
pytest.skip(
"Editable install doesn't support tests with a compile step",
allow_module_level=True
)
but that shouldn't affect spin test -t ...

I've verified I have Cython 3.0.12 installed, which meets the >=3.0.6 requirement:
$ pip install --upgrade cython
Requirement already satisfied: cython in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages (3.0.12)
However, I'm still encountering meson compilation errors when trying to run the tests:
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['meson', 'compile', '-vv']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
The tests are failing at the compilation step rather than being skipped by the IS_EDITABLE check. Should I proceed with adding the test case for NpyIter_GetIterNext anyway for CI to validate, or is there another approach you'd recommend?

This is probably happening because there's a cython compiler error that is getting captured by pytest, causing meson to fail. You're not seeing the output from cython because pytest captures stdout by default. You can force pytest to dump stdout instead of capturing it by passing -s
to pytest. With spin test
it would look something like:
spin test numpy/_core/tests/test_cython.py -- -six
Extra arguments after the --
are passed to pytest.
I also tried my hand at writing a test, and it came out like this:

Which to me indicates that indeed we need to write the Cython wrappers for the function pointers to return functions, not pointers.
But then Cython refuses to compile that:

I'm confused why the current definitions are wrong. The C function returns a numpy/numpy/_core/src/multiarray/nditer_templ.c.src Lines 283 to 292 in c275e25

The string hack was just to use the exact typedef from C (rather than defining something equivalent).

This subtle difference is fine IMO. Almost no one will ever need to care about this and it’s not worth the ceremony of changing the C API. |
Sure go ahead! |

Thanks for updating! It now is really just a small bug fix now.
I am also OK with the mismatch, wonder if we should mentioned it in the docs, but I am OK either way.

Fix return type of NpyIter_GetIterNext in Cython declarations
Description
This PR fixes a type mismatch in the Cython declarations for the
NpyIter_GetIterNext
function.The function was incorrectly declared to return
NpyIter_IterNextFunc*
(pointer to function type) when it should returnNpyIter_IterNextFunc
(function type directly). This mismatch causes compilation errors when users try to build Cython code that uses this function.Solution
Modified both
__init__.pxd
and__init__.cython-30.pxd
to remove the asterisk from the return type:From:
To:
Verification
The original issue demonstrates the problem with concrete compiler errors showing the incompatible pointer type assignment:
This error occurs because the function returns a function pointer directly, not a pointer to a function pointer. Removing the asterisk in the declaration fixes this type mismatch.
